The Inspirational Comeback of David Francisco
David Francisco is no stranger to overcoming adversity. The singer-songwriter and producer, best known for his 2018 American Idol appearance, has captivated audiences with his resilience and musical brilliance. His latest release, If You Should Fall in Love, is a testament to his evolution as an artist and a human being.
A deeply moving indie-pop ballad, the song showcases Francisco’s ability to craft heartfelt lyrics wrapped in a soothing yet powerful melody. With influences from the likes of Phoebe Bridgers and JP Saxe, If You Should Fall in Love highlights Francisco’s raw vocal charm and effortless storytelling. The track is part of his upcoming EP, Hypothetical Heartbreak, a project he has fully produced himself, marking his triumphant return to his own music after years of working behind the scenes for other artists.
David Francisco continues to inspire with both his story and his music, proving that perseverance and passion can transform even the toughest challenges into art.
When the “Iron City” links up with Los Angeles no weak emcees are safe! Dropping today is Iron Angeles, the eleven track LP that combines Reagan Era Records lynchpin Dios Negasi on rhymes with production from Pittsburgh’s Tone Fultz. First single “What It Is” (also featuring a verse from Reagan Era’s Skrillz Dior) is hard-as-nails, head-nodding boom-bap greatness. As the producer states “though the Steel City is a cloudy and dark place and Los Angeles is known for its sunny weather, the two have a long history of creating legendary music together including Mel-Man and Sam Sneed’s work with Dr. Dre and Bud’Da’s producing ‘Bow Down’ for Westside Connection.” This extends to the album voice-over which makes the project feel like a long-lost blaxploitation action flick of the grimiest proportions.

While Dios Negasi is known for producing his own tracks (including the recent single “Domingre Gang” featuring Young Zee) and Tone Fultz also rocks the mic in his alter-ego Messiah Of Madness, both artists stick to one role here. As Tone relates, “Dios and I have been like brothers over the past few years. I come to Los Angeles regularly to dig records, and he mentioned he was slowing down on production to focus more on rhyming. Meanwhile I was in a producer zone so I started cooking up beats specifically for this project. I came to visit when a bunch of tracks and as we cooked up in the studio, members of Reagan Era came through and it was a totally organic process.”
